BetterLights

Customize individual torch and lantern colors with a controller or mouse.

Controls

• Look at a nearby light and press R3, F7, or middle mouse to open the picker.
• Use the right stick, mouse, or presets to choose a color.
• Save, restore the original color, or cancel from the picker.

Colors persist between sessions. In multiplayer, players with the same BetterLights version can see the host's synchronized colors; unmodded players remain compatible and see the original colors.

Full setup, configuration, compatibility, and troubleshooting details are available on GitHub.
